On behalf of the board of trustees I would like to express The Lewes Historical Society's sincere gratitude and appreciation to all those who made the Wine Expo March 24 at the Lewes History Museum a wonderful success.
Catherine and Kevin Hester of Teller Wines selected the society as this year's beneficiary, and provided exceptional vision and enthusiasm for the event. Linda Dylla, a society trustee, was chair of the event and worked tirelessly with her committee to make sure every last detail was attended to, to make the expo an important fundraiser for the society.
